Moshe our Redeemer: A Man Likened to an Angel with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

everybody [Music] come everybody Welcome Home to Torah welcome back to the ebony big madrash we were away for a week Baruch Hashem we went to a wedding last Thursday night we had a beautiful simcha what a joyous occasion for one of my one of my students I just want to thank everybody who has given who had given to the end of the year Financial fundraising campaign that's what I have to say and we want to thank each and every one of you individually what we do here is we actually have a lot of fun learning right we learn the Hebrew which is very important I've gotten a lot of comments how this is one of the only classes where we go line by line meaning we're taking and dissecting verses of the Torah sometimes we spend the full hour on one verse obviously we're you're bringing verses from left and right from all kinds of places as proof text to try to understand the verse itself but we're going slowly so today we're going to be dealing with Exodus shmos chapter 2 verses 1 that's going to be the main topic in the beginning and then verses two and three towards the end however I want to mention that in order to uh look if you have your own copy of the Clear Car great but if you don't and you want to follow along which I do encourage people to do and that would be to let me just move the camera closer that would be to go down in the links Down Below in the description box and you'll find okay it's not so easy to find but you'll find the the page that deals with the clear card then you have to choose which which one of the books whether it's Exodus you know uh which we're in Exodus you have to find Exodus and you find the year so the newer ones are on top um but you can it's not that hard to find and on the web page we actually have the original Hebrew sheets not all color-coded like I have if you really want to get the English Source sheets just send me an email and we'll add you to the list because it's quite helpful it makes it more enjoyable more fun so you feel like you're following and that's one of the uh I think one of the highlights of this class is that people are able to follow word for word idea by idea page for page here we go so in chapter two in the beginning of chapter two find it in the way I didn't have it open but okay now it is so we're talking about Moses's parents the harim shamosha Moses his parents and it says we'll read it first in English then in Hebrew most of the nuances you don't really find in the English I think anybody who's listening to this class already knows that by now it says that a man went from the house of Levy and he took and he took a daughter of lady that's the verse we're going to deal with in the Hebrew it says so the word is going to prove very important it means went now so if you had just the yudlam it would have been right future tense going however the vov only in the biblical uh Hebrew transforms it into a past tense so a man from the house of Levy me base Levy he went and he took at bat lady we know their names later on but it's interesting and there's a lot to say why their names are not mentioned here well because there's a story behind this and that is what the the Clear Car on uncovers he's uncovering the the mystery here why are their names not mentioned because there's a story behind it I might as well I mean we might as well read verse 2 and at least in English the woman conceived still don't know her name we know that his parents are amram and joh an and she gave birth to a son she saw that he was good and she hid him for three months obviously at some point you know Pharaoh was killing all the male babies so at some point verse 3 says she could not hide him any longer so she took him she took for him a wicker basket and smeared it with clay and Pitch she placed the child into it and placed it among the Reeds of the back of the river okay well I might as well read the next verse his sister that would be Miriam stationed herself in a distance to know what would be done with him as we know the rest of the story pharah's daughter Batya goes and retrieves him and brings him up in the palace as her own son like an adopted son we're not going to get into that we're going back to the first verse and the clear car says Levy I told you the yellow that's a very important word this person went who's this person he's a man from the house of Levy why do you have to tell me all this and what did he do he took and he took a daughter of Levy a boss lady okay Rashi right away he clear car oh by the way for those who are not familiar we use the clear card for our discussion and that's the whole point of learning the clear car and understanding his unbelievable wisdom and insights into the Torah itself so let's just look at Rashi because what he does the clear crowd will expound Rashi has taken see the my back that's the oral Torah he went through the entire oral Torah and he based on his knowledge and his what he learned from his rebbies he decided to choose what was the most practical a simple understanding of the verses based on the vast amount of possibilities not only just possibilities like it's an option but in order to explain it on the most simplest level obviously there are deeper levels and they're all true whatever's in the oral Torah but he took what we call the most simplest level so what does it mean according to Rashi and and married a daughter of Levy so he gets some background he was separated from her rashi's telling me like I need to know this and we do because of the word that he went and he took so the background is that amram that's we don't know his name yet but I'm I'm telling you his name his he was separated from his wife you have it because of Pharaoh's decree what was Pharaoh's decree to kill all these young male right infant children that are male now the background is Rashi will explain that it was Miriam herself that confronted her father and says I don't know why you're not with my mother and having children you know Pharaoh only wants to kill or prevent right a kill the male children while you're preventing the females from ever coming about by separating from my mother so let's read the Rashi this is the meaning of Wentz the yelik that he followed because the idea of yalech is to follow what he followed her advice he filed Miriam's advice Rashi says and she said to him your decree is harsher than Paro whereas Pharaoh issued a decree only against the males you Pharaoh you issued a decree against everybody including the females against the females as well because there wouldn't be anybody born now who is amram amra was one of the greatest Hebrews alive at the time see we call him the guadal hador he was the um the leader the representative and if he did something everyone else followed so even though we're learning that he separated from his wife what do you think the rest of the people did the same because they followed amrams um you know he was a leader so they followed his um not his decree but his his um his actions so by the way Raj in the Rashi it says this is from an old Rashi anyway and he took her back that's what he did he went he took her back because he listened to Miriam's advice now the clear card is going to prove that has to be advice because it doesn't say where he left from or where he went if you use the word villalak and he went the narrative would have should have could have used additional words to explain or describe from where he came from and where he went if you're already describing that he went somewhere okay so it says he took her back and married her second time that's where the word is going to come in because as anybody who learned the second I'm not going to go into the whole thing right now but yikak is a language of marriage okay so he went and he took her back as a wife but she already was a wife let's see now not only that how old was she this is your Heaven your heaven was born as we entered into Egypt okay I'm not going to go into that whole scenario how we know that but that is a very interesting idea that's through the counting and knowing there's exactly 70 Souls that went into Egypt and when you go through the counting you only find 69 and she was the one our oral Torah tells us she was the one who was born as they entered Egypt so in other words she was conceived her seed was conceived already in Eric's canon in heret Israel before they they went down to Egypt but she was born physically born prior to going through the walls entering the gates of Egypt and so Rashi explained she was born when they first came to Egypt between the Hamot between the walls and now we know the Jews were in Egypt for 210 years only 210 years the promise was 400 years but we left 190 years earlier okay so she was 130 years old when Moses was born um and Moses was 80 years old when they left okay so that adds equals to 210 years that's the math you don't need a calculator for that but anyway the point here is when they left Moses was 80 years old if so when she conceived him she was 130 years old as I mentioned she was um still a narrative shroud when she conceived but the Rashi points out she the scripture calls her about the lady uh the daughter of Levy um even though she was 130 years old and keep in mind that someone like that someone like that 130 years old how could she possibly be conceived so I think there's like a rem is there that she was young enough to have children okay now let's go into the Clear Car itself we're just beginning so the first line says Paris Rashi and we read Rashi and he just gives four words in Hebrew actually three words Peru that amram had had married her and was separated from her everything we just read and the clear card Begins by saying Nira shalama how do we learn it how do we actually know what Rashi said is true well first of all we know it's true because Rashi said it he's quoting a medrish but where did The Madras get it from so it says he's focusing on the word the Yale and his question is very simple Lo Paras the text does not reveal to us it does not explain to us from where he came and to where he is going when you use the word and went usually there are associative words right you want to know from where the person came where he's going well that's missing in the text also the clear card claims me based lady from the house of Levy meaning that amram why do you need to tell me that he is from the house of Lady it could have just said how they lay Lamar the clear card uses this idea he knows Hebrew better than all of us and Hashem is also very concerned about the paper that were at least the Torah parchment and the ink that we're writing on so it's money God's concerned for Jewish money we don't want to waste it so if you could condense and the meaning into lesser words and shorter more concise phrase it would have so it could have said vielech is without the word me bait just went a lazy person right it could have just said that why do you have to add from the house of Levy what is that ad elophision so the first thing the clear card wants to do in terms of answering the above questions is first of all mention about halika remember the first word we used the Yelich that is usually used when we're dealing with divorce okay now we have a verse in Deuteronomy chapter 24 verse 2. it says and she leaves his house and goes and marries another man if anybody's familiar you mean you can go and look at the context it's talking about when a man finds something unseemly in his wife and he wants to divorce her the truth be told even though he divorced her he can always take her back to be his wife provided number one he's not a coin and number two that she didn't go and marry someone else okay so the word in Hebrew was the yotsami beso that she leaves from his house and she walks meaning she goes meaning she went and she married someone else then the Torah explains he can no longer take her back but the idea of I'm sorry here it says right and she went that means and look at Rashi who differs from her first husband meaning she goes to marry someone else so okay let's move further on in the clear car he's bringing this why to show you that amram divorced his wife meaning he's separated from her Aisha Nick race bias the next important thing is what do we call our wives what should we call her how should we relate to our wives so the good morning's job is 18b tells us that the term house home that is who your wife is your wife is the Ikea to buy it the prime principle of your house and that does not mean what people think it means right it means she is the Homemaker she is your life your your house is your life listen to what the remorse is rabiosi said he always spoke you uh euphemistically it may be riddles anyway in all my days I never called my wife my wife nor did I ever call my Ox my ox but rather what did I do I always called my wife my home it's actually very endearing because she is the essence of the home and every Jewish woman knows that and my Ox my field because it is a primary force in the field just like the woman when you go home your wife tells you something to do with the house you better listen to her okay she is the queen she's the Master of the House okay now let's go on in the clear car we learned two very important things so far the word has to do with divorce and the word bias has to do with a wife and what about the word lazy the word lady is obviously a name but um Leia when she named her third child lady let's look in Genesis 29 34 it's number four on the English Source she it says she conceived again and bore a son and she said now this time my husband will be attached to me see a lie means this time meaning this time that I've conceived I've gave them birth to the third child as we will see in the Russian we described this before the Imam the mothers were they had ruach they had a level of spiritual of of Prophecy where they knew there was going to be 12 tribes now what they didn't realize at least Leia didn't realize that it was not going to be evenly distributed she just made the Assumption okay there's going to be 12. there's four mothers that means each one gets three so after she gave birth to the first three actually the first four or five whatever but it doesn't matter when she gave birth to the first three she realized or thought she oh wow I just fulfilled my full right I gave birth to all the ones I'm going to give birth to so now my husband will love me even more because I just fulfilled my uh my ability to give birth to all the children I I guess I'm going to have let's see how Rashi explains it this time my husband will be attached so the word if people are familiar with Hebrew uh Levoy means an escort right um a a an Entourage going to a funeral it's called a levia okay so you love that since the matriarchs were prophetesses they knew the 12 tribes would emanate from yaakov and then he would marry four wives so basically what she was saying to herself was from now on he will find no fault with me for I have contributed my share in producing Sons that's based on the madrish uh meaning basically the three three sons were thought to be each wife's share of the twelve now there is an interesting comment in Rashi because he says whoever is referred to the with the expression alkane so throughout the tribes the larger of the tribes the word alkane is used and it's also used here and Lady is the smallest of the tribes so how do we understand that I think there's more than one possibility but Rashi says right except except for Levy because the ark destroyed many of them I want to say like this we know that Hashem is Sanctified through his Sanctified ones he's he's um he's elevated because of his Sanctified ones but basically the closer you are to God right we learned this through uh nadav and avihu they got too close to God and they were taken out they didn't actually have an ark that they were uh or maybe they did but they were basically with the fire pants and everything they went to into a place where they did certain things that they shouldn't have done basically the idea was they wanted to really come close to Hashem they wanted to sanctify themselves and they were destroyed so too we see that the closer you are the more the closer you are to God the more like under a microscope you are the more you are judged I mean the whole world can see it through the Jewish people right the closer you are to God the more you are judged there's no question that we are judged more okay so then the the Rashi continues it says he named him Levy where who named all the other children you always see she named them but here who's he is that a an he or a capital h e so um I always wondered why Rashi says it's written concerning this one and he named him with a small he let's just go with that well concerning all the others it's written and she named it's a legitimate question what's so unusual about Levy uh it's an a guttic magician Deuteronomy rabba which relates how the Holy One blessed me he sent Gabrielle and brought him lazy well we're imagining this must be either before he was born we're dealing with Angelic forces or it could be it could be you know within the first few days of his birth before his name was given but anyway that God sends the angel Gabrielle Gabriel brings lady before God and God is the one who gave him his name so when it says he gave him his name it's maybe with a capital h h e and it was God himself the granted at least in the future that lady would receive but when we say lady we're talking about the coneem as well we have 24 Priestly gifts and because it was a company because he accompanied him with gifts he named him lady that's how Rush explains through the medrish there's this Association of the Priestly class with the gifts the truma the Maser and whatever else all the different gifts that we give the uh the condim and the Levine okay let's go back into the Clear Car and we're only on the right we're on the kind of the beginning but the cleocasis so what does levy mean it's like as Leia said now my husband will feel attached to me so it's the language of Heber means connection cleaving one man to his wife and we saw it in rush in the in Genesis 29 34 which we read already as Leia had said now we understand when it says that this lazy man went from well let's just say let's read it literally went the man from the house of Levy so what does that mean it says clear car says that he went from his house remember his wife is his house he divorced her he separated so it says he went from his house he went from his wife he left that attachment in which he was attached to her then afterwards it says and afterwards it says he took a daughter of lazy boss lady so this taking is a a second taking because he had been married he was attached and he divorced her ass that he made with her a second marriage that through this this time he then attached to her in a familiar way a family right as a wife just like as in the beginning and that's why it says ET but lady okay that finishes the first part now we're going to deal with verses two and verse 3. so we did read them if you look at number nine on the English Source sheet we didn't read the Rashi though so I'll just read it quickly in English and point out some of the Hebrew we're going to be dealing with we said in chapter 2 verse 2 the woman conceived and born a son and when she saw him that he was good see we didn't translate that we didn't use the Hebrew we only translated it what does that mean in Hebrew it says Vitara Otto she saw it or him for he was good very strange honestly and then the tits nehu she hid him is the word for moon and that's how we understand for three months and then when she could no longer hide him that's when she made the basket so the Hebrew is below ode hatch pinu she could no longer hide him Rashi says what does it mean she can no longer hide him because the Egyptians counted her pregnancy they were they were like the Nazis they were very they kept a good record they were they wanted to kill people systematically because the Egyptians counted her pregnancy from the day that he omaram took her back they made a wedding everyone knew oh this must be the day of conception we'll have to check nine months from now but guess what Moshe was born three months early she bore him only for six months and and and one day meaning six days six months in one day it's called a seventh month baby and the gore tells us seventh month gestation period is likely to live it's not like a preemie it's it's okay for a woman who gives birth to a seventh month child may give birth after incomplete months all right we're not going to talk about that it's a whole concept in some months are Malay in fact a a a a leap month right when you have 30 days instead of 29 days it's called a pregnant month all right I'm not going to get into this whole idea but it's very deep okay anyway so what happened was they searched after her at the end of nine months so he was already a three-month-old baby when she realized they're looking for him she couldn't hide him anymore he was already in the world for three months what let's go back to the Clear Car we're dealing with verse 2 where it says Vitara Otto Tito she saw him that he was good that's how that's a good translation and the clear car says the entire house was filled with light when he was born now how are you going to hide a baby I mean they didn't have a fluorescent light bulbs they didn't have floodlights they had candles maybe they had torches but things were pretty dark anyway so when he was born she couldn't hide you know she needed to hide him it says um it says in Genesis chapter 1 verse 4 we think of light as good I mean very similar language it says ketov who that when Moshe was born she saw that he was good what does that mean go to Genesis chapter 1 verse 4 God saw the light that it was good okay it was good it's okay so what we're doing is equating the birth of Moshe that she saw it was good as light just like God created the world and he created light that was good now the clear card says it's for this very reason that she hid him well me Tom zets for this reason it's pinoto that she hid him what did she fear U hamitsarim she was afraid the Egyptians would also see this light now what does the light represent it's not just that you know if you want to hide something light would reveal it but that through the light it's true they would obviously see the child hits and therefore many of the other not none of the other children were born with a light so maybe they didn't have to be hidden obviously if they're crying and whatnot you have a problem but the light that's a big problem so she felt he needed to be hidden certainly more than any of the children needed to be hidden furthermore Shema yard perhaps that the Egyptians themselves would feel or perceive much more because of this light Siam she feared maybe the Egyptians would perceive much more this light right light is perceivable but through the light they would perceive that he was the Redeemer that would take them out from the darkness to the light and from slavery to freedom and Redemption now I want to stop here I'm not a good singer and I hope that nobody criticizes me too bad but we on Mondays and Thursdays in our synagogues and of course Shabbos we sing this song many many places I'll say in English first and it's a prayer and it's very meaningful certainly meaningful to me and we say as for our brothers the entire house of Israel who still remain in distress and captivity whether on sea or on land may God have compassion on them and bring them from distress to relief from Darkness to light from servitude to Redemption at this moment speedily very soon and let us say Amen this is a prayer a heartfelt request to Hashem have compassion on our brothers and sisters who whatever kind of distress or captivity the fact that we're in Exile whether it's a personal Exile whether it's a community Exile whether on sea or on land and I'm going to do the uh the favor of everybody I'm going to sing it only once okay and bear with me well [Music] hey babe and then you can sing it over again which I well I told you only single ones and then it goes on to this very important words that we just quoted in the clear car we may fail a Leora gosh you guys are wishing you we're out of Exile so Aaron doesn't have to sing this anymore anyway so we end with maybe I'll try to find the link and I'll put it down below of someone who professionally sings this song but anyway it's better in a crowd meaning you drown yourself out you're harmonizing with everybody and you're all unified in thinking about your brethren who are going through a tough time okay let's get back in but the clear card actually uses those words right she feared that maybe this is what the Egyptians are going to see through that light that this is the Redeemer because of the very light itself the one who's going to take us out of Darkness I'm sorry right out of Darkness into the light and wait the clear car goes on perhaps what was she thinking she thought you know what maybe this light was created with him right meaning not that God created well he obviously created the light but I mean when he was created the light came and associated with him in order to teach her that she has to hide him like it was like a neon light hello like wake up hide this special Precious Child who's going to be the Redeemer come out but guess what it's just like Hashem did remember the first four days of creation you didn't have the sun and the moon and the stars they were only created on the fourth day and yet we see in the beginning day one God created light what light is that that is a very special light that God hid shinig Naz that he will call it um buried uh hit away he hit away let Sadiq la sillabo for the righteous in the world to come I have to express now uh we'll look at hagiga 12a to get an idea let's go through it real quick there's certain verses I don't want to spend too much time on it but it's obviously a very important idea to know um this is said in the opinion of Ruby Eliezer the light that the Holy One blessed me he created on the first day was not that of the Sun because that was only created on the fourth day but a different kind of light through which man could observe from one end of the world to the other but when the ho when the Holy One blessed me he looked upon the generation of the flood and the generation of the dispersion meaning the Tower of Babel and saw their ways were corrupt and that they might misuse this light for evil he arose and concealed it from them and so you can look up these verses later in the Hebrew I'm sure it's much more beautiful than we have here but in Job 38 15. and from the wicked their light is withheld and from whom did he conceal it he concealed it for whom for the righteous people in the future and it also says in Genesis 1 4 what she read God saw the light that it was good is referring to none other than the righteous of course as it says about them in Isaiah chapter 3 verse 10 say of the righteous that it shall be good for them for they shall eat the fruit of their actions keep that in mind when the light saw that it had been concealed for the righteous the light itself rejoiced as it says in Proverbs 13 9. the light for the righteous shall rejoice okay let's I want to go back to the Rashi on Genesis chapter 1 verse 4. when says God saw the light it was good remember he created the light here too we need the words of the Agata he saw that it was not proper for the wicked to use it so he separated it he hid it for the righteous and the future according to its simple meaning explain as follows he saw that it was good and it was unseemly that the light and darkness should serve in confusion so he established this one by its boundary that's called day and the boundary for the other we call night okay let's go back into the Clear Car and the last thing we just quoted was the governor now what about the three months oh miss parsh losha that number three months it hints to what news that the light that God hid on right by the fourth day that special light or multi Shabbos however you want to look at it okay so he took that light it's the light of Torah he hid the he hid that light into what we call the Torah but the way the clear car says is it hints to the light of the Torah itself that was hidden until the third month which is Sivan the third month okay um where do I want to go now I think we'll just continue it's interesting in Proverbs chapter 2 verse 7. it says he lays up sound wisdom for the upright now lays up is not a good translation look at the Hebrew yitzpown the same thing he hid for the upright which means wisdom okay um do I have a Rashi on that let's see there is a Rashi on that foreign blessed me he hid the wisdom with him is unbelievable we're about to hear how long when was that third month of Sivan it was in the 26th generation meaning the day of the Revelation at Mount Sinai it was the 26th generation from the creation of the world and he gave it to that generation in other words the generation of the desert Moses's generation is the 26th now I have here I don't know if you heard of the radapp the haradap is Harvard posting I didn't make this up somebody called me that once and I kept it but I wrote here that keep in mind God's own precious name the yud and the hay and the love and the hay when you take the gamatri the value of the letters it is 26. the revelation of God and the revelation of his Torah was in the 26th generation you just count right from Adam to no office 10 Generations from Noah to Abraham is 10 generations and then following Abraham of Isaac yaakov Levy kohat amram and Moshe 26 Generations okay so it was the 26th generation in which the Torah was revealed let's go on to lefica now we have the words loyakhla odspino she could no longer hide him the Torah can no longer be hidden after the 26th Generation generation of Moshe at the actual revelation of the burning bush which is a different revelation that was more of a personal revelation to namosha as the leader of the Jewish people as opposed to the National Revelation that over 3 million Jews the Israelites witnessed and saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears so it says in Exodus chapter 5 3 verse 5. it's number 13 on the sourcing God said to Moses at the burning bush do not draw near right hello don't come closer means to remove your shoes from upon your feet of course because the play is upon which you stand is Holy soil so the Clear Car explains removed remember Shao means to remove your shoes Moshe was totally removed from means anything physical Moses was so removed God told him remove your shoes remove the physicality you already are like an angel 40 days and 40 nights without eating or drinking right he went to the highest levels of existence so to speak to receive the Torah from Hashem himself okay so he was quite the Angelic Force to he was like part Angel part human how you may hear me that he illuminated that he Shone forth from both aspects both parts meaning his body and his soul that it was I'm going to translate means his personal house but here it means like his human vessel The Vessel this body is his human vessel was full of light right as we know when he came down from the mountain with tablets the second tablets a beam of light Shone from his face and he needed to cover that with a veil so people would not be afraid or would be blinded so this idea that he's shown they like coming through his pores venaise as a child yet right that she saw this great light this miracle proved that what his future Mission would be oh let's continue in the Clear Car Venera emo okay it seems from the actual existence regarding the existence of this light that was born with him we're about to see if you look as we said in verse 6 but we didn't compare it yet so number 14 it says she opened it and she saw him the child and behold was a weeping lad and she had compassion on him this is talking about Bhatia so Batya saw it what did she see why is it written this way she opened and saw it and then it's almost like a colon Sami colon hard comma etiyalid and at can mean with by the way so she saw it the child and then it goes on to say that he was a weeping lad which is we just called him a yelled now the same verse is calling him a Gnar I yell it is like an infant and a Nar is like a young adult a lad Quran she says on that verse she opened it and saw him whom did she see the child that would be the obvious right in the understanding on the deeper level the interpretation is that she saw the shrina with him she saw the divine presence with him I might as well just read the rest of the rash even though we're going to get to a little bit later in the paragraph what does it mean and behold he was a weeping lad so even though he was an infant he was he yelled his voice nevertheless was deeper like that of a lad okay that's Rashi let's go into the clear car and uncover the gems and the jewels that he wants us to see so the clear car right away points out what does it mean who she saw it because we said it she said she opened it she saw it or him Karma the child tells him Gomorrah So to 12b that Bhatia actually saw the Sheena was with him let's look quickly number 15. the next verse says and she opened it and saw it even the child even the child I would say with the child but okay even the child they can wear comments the verse originally says she saw it it should have said and she saw what do you need to say so it raviose say the son of ribi khanina says in addition to Moses she saw the divine presence was with him this is indicated by the usage of saw it okay I think we might as well just read the rest of this piece of gamark even though we're not up to it yet the verse says saw it even the child which is yelled but then it says and behold a lad that wept the word is lat so the Gomorrah says well first she calls him a Yellen and in the same very same verse she calls him Anar so the teach this teaches he is the age of a child meaning he's an infant but his voice was so loud and so deep as a lad okay that's all that the Gomorrah brings at this point let's go back into the Clear Car now we say we just said what gazal told us that the screen it was with him but it's not in the verse I mean it's not clear in the verse so the clear card asked the question from where does the concept this name of the screen appear where do you know this from and the answer is from that word saw it if she saw it it's share his care of the funny that it's going back it's referring to the existence of the light which we mentioned before when it says saw him and he was good meaning the light it was that same light that she saw with the child because the word ET could mean and it could be untranslatable but can also mean with and therefore clear the word e means with the word ET means in and through this he would I guess like appear now not like a it says narga though like an elderly Yad but lad but this is really getting across the idea that sibatya was loyal to a certain extent to the the nation of Egypt and her father I mean you have to kill these children these uh infants but if he looked like he was already older so then you can get away with not killing him let's see so because of this he appeared like an older child because through the connection the unification of the child with the light that's why she said Victory who it says she saw it meaning to say she saw the light the light would be the yellowed the the young child with don't read it as she saw the light with the child but behold it was it was a lad that was crying because at the same time there was an appearance maybe through the thick voice that it was really a much older child our shame now this is unbelievable this idea of the crying and we're talking about a child who has the Sheena with him and yet there's this cry as if it's an older brother an older child so it's taking us to a very important verse it's in Psalms 91 verse 15. this is King David explaining he will call me and I shall answer him I am with him in distress I shall rescue him and I shall honor him in the Hebrew Ukrainian right like the song I sang you're with your brothers you feel their pain Hashem feels our pain he is actually with us when we went down to Egypt he went down to Egypt I mean that's already uh another share there's going to be links below you'll hear some of the other sharing we discussed those ideas but when we wake up in the middle of the night and pray that we're in Exile that we should be at removed from the Exile we should be thinking Hashem is in Exile as well so to speak just like we went into Exile he went down with us he is with us in our pain this is what King David says I am with him in distress it's a very important concept here um we're going to see shortly the next verse that he brings it's in chapter 3 verse 7 this is also by the burning bush and the Lord said I have surely seen the Affliction of my people who are in Egypt because of the Affliction caused to them by their slave drivers ready I know their pains I know their pains the word yadati is not just head knowledge it's an intimate understanding of their pains that God totally was with us and understood our pains and going through the pains with us meaning to say as in we use the word meaning as if like because we don't think we don't we cannot imagine Hashem in his ultimate Glory we are limited God is unlimited we are finite he's infinite how can we ever how can the finite understand the infinite but the tone is written the language a man and God created us we're able to fathom certain ideas because we're human and so we put them in sometimes human language but it doesn't really mean that when it comes to Hashem so God says I know their pains meaning I need margish as if again again Hashem doesn't have a body he doesn't have any emotions he doesn't have any feelings but we are we do and therefore we can only imagine how it is because he he explained it to us okay ready for this and now we understand one of his names I will be that which I will be one Moses says how are they going to know you know who sent me and in Exodus chapter 3 14 still at the burning bush God said to Moses I will be that which I will be and God said so shall you say to the children of Israel not yet Usher hey yeah but just Aya sent me okay very important okay I'm telling you who I am um but when you tell the children of Israel just say a yes at me now the first thing Rashi points out was I will be with them in this predicament in their pains and I will be with them when they're going to be in the future other pains it's an unbelievable concept here so the last thing the clear car says is that in their pain within the Jewish people's pain God is there also experiencing the same pain so we should be praying for him but it's this it's unbelievable how he is with us meaning he is caring for us he's loving us and he's carrying us and um the the last last thing that Rashi actually explains is maybe Moses like well you know these guys are going through a hard time as it is if I tell them your name is you're only going to get you know uh more trials and tribulation things are going to be pretty bad um I'm afraid that that might um that might be too much for them so as you know in the end God says just tell him hey yes send you okay so that's we have three more lines to go some say meaning it's another level why did this young infant three months old when he cried his voice sounded like a like a like a young adult so to speak and it was in order for Bacha Pharaoh's daughter who reached out to Moshe to think in order for her to think that he wasn't just born you know yesterday wasn't just born in the last three months deemed low King because if that's not the case lotacio loto Misa fake perhaps remember she had other people around her perhaps she would not have saved him just out of a doubt but this would like be okay he's an older child because he wasn't just born yesterday remember they were looking for this Redeemer in the water who was a let's say a newborn you know or seemingly a newborn so the very fact that he wasn't sounding like a three-month-old baby then there's no reason to uh for any of the I guess the girls around her to be to inform her or say oh you can't do that he might be the go Al the Redeemer the Nola it's Target Nini meaning that the warning came from Pharaoh's astrologers telling him that this is the day the child should be born remember it was that day that he should have been born but he's already born three months earlier so anyway he sounded like an older child so the Batya would reach out to him and capture him so with that we have so many interesting ideas of course our relationship with God our relationship with the world around us um hopefully we learned a little bit of Hebrew understanding the the shot of the toes is not always what it seems first we can begin with rashi rashi is a mafia is a key he opens the text for us so we have a deeper understanding of course we're a thousand years after Russia already and we have this beautiful thing called the oral Torah and we have the the precious vessel the Clear Car who's like a buffet he is a key to help us understand Rashi so basically I I bless you all should have a blessed week learn lots learn different perushime different commentators as long as they're all authentically Jewish and with that God bless have a good Shabbos have a great life and bizarat Hashem will see you next week [Music] help me [Music]
